I am a proud new owner of a pair of Beyer Dynamic DT 770 Pro 80 headphones. I'm thinking, for the burn in process, of running certain frequency sweeps and pink noise through the headphones to really get them to sound as good as they can be.
Now I'll get straight to the point because most of you are probably sitting there thinking OMG another burn in question, why doesn't he just look at the other million billion posts on this site that discus this topic.
Well through a little bit of searching this site, I feel that those other posts don't answer my questions.
Now a lot of people have said that using low frequency sweeps for burn in can damage the drivers in your can's. Ok that's fine I can understand that. But those people have never really said what range of low frequency sweeps do the damage.
I'm sure your all familiar with Burn-in wave files: white noise, pink noise, frequency sweep, channel mix which has a load of sounds which you can use for burning in your can's. Now this site has some low frequency sweeps and other sounds and these are the ones that I'm thinking about using:
Frequency sweep (20-20000 Hz)
Low frequency sweep (20-200 Hz)
Heavy Drum (going down to about 20 Hz)
So some simply questions really, will these sounds played at a moderate volume do any damage to my can's?
If not, how long should I repeat the clips for them to effectively and positively loosen up the frequencies that they are targeting?
And if I can repetitively play the clips, how long a break should I give the can's until I can start to play these clips again?
One final question, these sounds won't hold back or take away any of the positive effects that the pink noise will be having on the headphones?
So thanks guys! I'm a brand new member to the site so please be kind. Look forward to hearing all your answers!!
